10/19 Exit Slip

The inquiry project, topics that I wish to explore:

How to we make physics enjoyable to learn?

How do we inspire student to have self-motivation to find out what they don't know in the unit? I hope to develop a process to motivate students to inquire the knowledge they have yet to understand. I plan to do a "test" and then work on the stuff students do not understand based on the result. It promotes a healthy attitude toward test mark and inspire students to explore knowledge on intrinsic motivation


What is the most efficient setting to do group projects?

While we talked a lot about the benefits of group inquiry project, one of the main constraint is the time it takes and the potential of uneven contribution from each group member. I want to experiment different variables such as class time and group size for each physics related topic so we can know the best settings to go about these topics and how we can distribute the groups. This will take some sample size and may be more demanding on time. It there are multiple sessions of the same class the condition will be ideal.

The paper talked embodied learning through geometry in mathematics. It is almost like linking math with arts in a sense as the author portrays the beautify in geometric shapes and elegance in mathematics equations that describes the surfaces and motion paths. In physics embodied learning plays a big role too. From student feeling momentum to physicists searching for the Grand Unify Theory. It is at times important for students to sense as a part of learning. I do argue, however, that it may not be the best method for everyone. Feeling is a very personal experience. Embodied learning requires student to feel the presence of beauty and elegance, some may not know how to feel. It is no question that for the students who have strong inclination for sensing that embodied learning is an important component; some other student, on the other hand,  can feel lost in the process. One of the embodied learning experience that strikes me is star gazing, the experience is in-comparable to wa...

Tolerance VS Embracing 10/12

In physics its very important to make student feel like help is available when they need it. Not spoon feeding the knowledge but to provide them guidance and direction in problems. It is easy for students to get lost and do not know where to start in physics as some ideas are abstract. I think that many ways of presentation should be included, as well as relate to everyday experience so that students do not feel that physics is unrelated to daily living. To build on their problem solving skills is to provide them ways to be curious about a problem and tackle it in many possible ways. Teacher should also encourage students to try and make mistakes, for in physics it is extremely rewarding to understand and find ways to solve problems by one selves. Yet the essence for students to feel included is to allow mistakes and perhaps even make mistakes intentionally to demonstrate the spirit of physics inquiry. Other Ideas: Uncover the curriculum, not to cover it Allow students to l...

Entrance Slip 10/5

The article promotes the benefit of adding gardening to students' education and points out the numerous benefit of such program. I can relate and agree on author's observation of such program taking place. Learning about food and languages are the best way to be humble and learn about others culture in my point of view. Learning the language is a gesture of respect and equalizing the status of our language to the others, while taking the step is very inviting it is certainly not the most efficient way as language takes time to learn. Presenting/sharing  food on the other hand is universal as we all eat as human been, learning/sampling other culture's food is again a very welcoming sign and promotes culture exchange just like how the children shared their eating customs in the article. I really like the idea as food growing and gardening is something that brings the children all over the world together, it is a universal practice that transcend language barriers. It definite...
